Large volumes of medical waste, including syringes and tablets, have been dumped incorrectly at recycling stations in Karlskrona over several weeks. This has led to a police report from Affärsverken, the authority managing the stations. According to Robert Malmgren at Affärsverken, this is the third or fourth time such an incident has occurred, prompting the report.
The origin of the waste remains unknown, and it should have been returned to pharmacies instead of regular recycling stations. The person or persons responsible may have committed an environmental crime, as the waste could be directly dangerous to staff and other users of the stations.
